Jose Borquez sat at his 'puter and typed on 11/23/2005 12:50:
>  I made a standard install of FreeBSD 5.4  with Kern-Developer  Full binaries and doc, kernel source  only.  I attempted to compile a custom kernel running:

Exactly. The kernel sources had not been installed. Read the chapter on
building a custom kernel in the handbook. make sure you cvsup properly
before you attempt to go for the compile.
